Biography Submit listing

When I meet with a prospective client, my first priority is making sure he or she has found the right attorney. Not all lawyers are well-suited for all cases. Getting that client in the right room with the right attorney is imperative. When I am hired by a client, it is my number one objective to represent that person to the best of my abilities. Equally important in my advocacy conducting myself respectfully. Whether you are my client, opposing counsel, the court, or the other side, I will treat you with courtesy and respect. Advocacy does not mean impertinence. If you meet with me, you might find that I am not your "typical attorney". I like to take time to get to know my clients and who they are. I have always found it more effective to represent someone who you know, whose identity you have discerned, and whose interests your truly understand.

Aside from work, I love spending time with my wife and my dog. My family is my most important thing. I grew up in Hammond, Wisconsin, lived in Iowa for about 16 years, and recently moved to Lincoln, Nebraska. I come from a family of outdoors-people. I love fishing, hunting, mountain biking, and just being outside. As a sports enthusiast, I enjoy college and men's club rugby, and all things Wisconsin: Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks, and the UW Badgers!
